According to Mario’s newly updated, official Japanese-language profile, the iconic character isn’t working as a plumber. This shouldn’t be a total surprise, because the character seems to do everything but plumbing.

All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago...

Mario hasn’t always been a plumber. According to Shigeru Miyamoto, the character, then named “Jumpman,” was “basically a carpenter” in 1981's Donkey Kong, because the game takes place on a construction site.

“With (1983's) Mario Bros., we brought in Luigi and a lot of the game was played underground so we made him to fit that setting and, we decided he could be a plumber,” Miyamoto previously told USA Today. “The scenario dictates his role.”

Think Mario was ever a real doctor?

First the Koopalings, now this? Next thing they're gonna tell us is that Mario and Luigi aren't actually related.

I just like to think that Mario and Luigi pursued many odd jobs over the years. Carpentry. Plumbing. Medicine. Archaeology. Professional athlete. They just haven't found that special calling, you know?
